She couldn&#8217;t stay home. He was always on the road and cheating and stuff.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Anyway I told her about a lady in the south part of the island that can work something to stop her husband from leaving the house.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We went there; paid and we got instructions on what to do.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Bella the thing worked. Like the man cannot go anywhere. He refuse to even go to the shop. It&#8217;s from work to home. I never thought these things working like that.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">But now every situation that my friend finds herself in she goes back to the lady.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She&#8217;s spending her money black is white at that lady place and every situation that she has she thinks it&#8217;s Obeah and would run to the lady.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">When her children sat exams she went there to give them a bath.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She wanted money and she have some nonsense walking around in her purse to keep the cash flowing.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Now she smells funny because of some potion behind her ear that she has to rub with for protection.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Bella I am worried about my friend.
